Alphys was curled up in a ball crying whilst sitting on a bench in one of her many side rooms. Frisk had just taken her first anti-depressant unwillingly with the help of Sans. She had just stormed off out of the room. And Alphys was scared. And Alphys was Anxious. And Alphys was wondering about self-harm.

Sans stood up with a sigh after a couple moments and said, "well, i think i'm going to go after frisk now. see ya in a moment, alphys." Then the skeleton walked away. Once Sans left the side room, Alphys heard the side door open. Alphys hoped it was Undyne and Papyrus. They had left to get some groceries because it seemed the lab was the place for everyone to stay for a while, and all there was to eat currently was instant noodles.

Alphys wiped away her tears, took in a couple of deep breaths, and stood up. She grabbed the stand holding the bag of IV fluids and helped it roll across the floor as she walked into the main area of her lab. She saw Asriel still in his sleep-like state, while his parents were actually sleeping in nearby chairs. Undyne and Papyrus were standing in the entrance, but they both had their gazes fixed behind them for some reason. Sans was standing in front of them. Frisk was nowhere to be seen.

While still staring behind herself, Undyne asked, "So, uh, is Frisk allowed to leave yet?"

"uh, undyne, what do you mean exactly?" Sans asked, worriedly.

"I THINK THAT SHE IS WONDERING WHY FRISK IS OUTSIDE OF THE LAB, "Papyrus tried to answer, "AND I AM WONDERING WHY SHE WAS SNEAKY ABOUT IT."

"Wait, y- you're telling me Fr- Frisk just ran away?" Alphys asked. But she was literally just here, wasn't she?

Undyne turned to look at Alphys and Sans and said, "Um, yeah...?"

"SHOULDN'T WE GO AFTER HER THEN? SHE MIGHT... YOU KNOW," Papyrus asked.

"Frisk m- might what?" Alphys asked.

"UM, WELL, YOU KNOW..." Papyrus said, "MAYBE CUT HERSELF OR, UH, TRY TO... KILL HERSELF...?"

Sans said, "i don't think frisk is suicidal, ih just think she wants to cut. but after her display when we came here... i'm just not so sure anymore."

"Well, Papyrus," Undyne said, "You probably know Frisk the best out of all of us, so it's your call if we should go after her or not."

"UH, I'M NOT SURE YET..." Papyrus answered.

"well, i would decide sooner rather than later, papy," Sans said.

Papyrus answered, "YEAH, WE SHOULD GO AFTER FRISK. AS MUCH AS I WANT TO TRUST HER AND HOPE SHE'S DOING THE RIGHT THING, SHE'S PROBABLY GOING TO CUT HERSELF OR... KILL HERSELF."

"Okay. So the thr- three of you are going to head out a- and make sure Frisk is o- okay?" Alphys asked.

Undyne answered, "Yeah. If you weren't hurt, I would want you to come with, but I don't want you to get in worse conditions."

"That's okay, U- Undyne," Alphys responded, "I have s- some work to do h- here anyways."

"alright. welp, we'll be back soon, alphys. stay safe and keep asriel, toriel, and asgore safe too. see ya," Sans said.

Alphys nodded as her friends departed. Now, she was left as the only awake person in her Lab. This was an opprotunity for her if she were to self-harm. At the moment, Alphys still was kind of hoping for this chance. Now that had it, she decided it was time to seize it. Alphys went to her kitchen and went to the knife drawer. She entered the pin that she had set and then opened the door. Alphys gripped th knife and decided to head upstairs.

Alphys took off her lab coat and stared at her left arm. There had only ever been one other cut on her arm. She had self-harmed once previously. Alphys didn't remember how to cut, so she though about how she did it that one time. Let's see... It was shortly after Doctor Wing Din Gaster died. Alphys had felt responsible for the death of the great man. She had taken the day off due to a large anime convention she had been waiting for years to go to. Alphys had felt devastated after she heard the news of Gaster's death. She had rubbed the tip of the knife across her arm. That's how to cut! Alphys remembered!

Alphys set the cold sharp tip of the blade of the knife on her arm and slowly drew it across her arm. The pain was horrible, yet quite relieving at the same time. It still hurt, and quite a bit, but it seemed to make Alphys feel better. It was a queer feeling, to be honest. Alphys wanted to experience that unique feeling again, so she repeated her motions, creating a second cut across her arm. Alphys began to cry, but to smile too. Suddenly, a knock rang out on the door. Alphys jumped a little bit. She quickly did her best job to heal her arm a little bit and then ran down the stairs.

The door slid open and Alphys saw a man she hadn't seen in a long, long time. This monster was a skeleton. He had two cracks on his skull, one from the bottom of his left eye to the top of his mouth and the other from the top of his right eye to the back of his skull. He was in a black lab coat. The skeleton was in a gray scarf and had a dark gray shirt. Black pants were on the skeleton's legs and small gray shoes. This was Doctor Wing Din Gaster, the no longer deceased royal scientist, father to Sans and Papyrus.

"O- oh my god, G- gaster! Y- you're alive! Pl- please come in, a- are you stable and o- okay?" Alphys asked and offered.

"Yes, Alphys I am okay. It has been a long time, hasn't it? I am glad to see you again," Gaster said, walking into the lab. Alphys quickly followed after him. Once they were both inside the lab, the other door suddenly opened. Alphys and Gaster turned. They saw Sans, Papyrus, Undyne, and Frisk. Papyrus and Sans were staring, their eyes shaking.

"D... DAD...?" Papyrus asked.
